The Stone Village in the Deep Mountains

The Stone Village in the Deep Mountains||If the entire village was built with stones. Would you think it's very sturdy? Would you think it's warm in winter and cool in summer? Would you think it exists in a fairy tale world? In fact, this is an ancient village located below Jinyun County, Zhejiang! The entire village, with its stone houses, stone bridges, and stone-paved roads, is all built up with stones, looking completely natural. The road into the mountains is quite rugged, and it's only thanks to modern infrastructure that vehicles can now drive into the mountains. Just think, how could bricks have been transported in there before? This place is Yanxia Village, under Huzhen of Jinyun County. In this area, the mountain rocks are hard, and the locals used the materials available to them to build this stone village. The stone bridge is right at the entrance of the village, standing firm despite years of wind and rain. Although the village is designated as a scenic area, there is currently no admission fee. It is inhabited by the original residents, with no commercial atmosphere. The pristine tranquility is charming. Approaching each stone house to look at the details, the stone-built walls quietly tell ancient stories. During the camellia oil harvest season, the ground here is covered with 'sun-drying autumn'. Unlike some scenic areas' sun-drying autumn, the sun-drying here involves real laboring people engaged in farming activities. Perhaps, visitors can take some small local products back home, and also bring back a bit of nostalgia for this place!
